The Main Stream Media doesn't have to cover this. What's important is that DC knows that there are so many true Patriots out there just on motorcycles to make such a statement. Motorcyclists are a small majority of conservatives principles.

Now think how many more bikers couldn't make the ride and the millions more who silently sit in their homes who support them.

This actually gives me hope. Patriots are getting tired of being put down; sh*t on; losing their liberties; and in general being subjugated to the ever growing Fedgov. That many bikers (mostly Veterans) who pull together that quickly is a good sign of things to come.

But then, Senator Reid probably thinks them as "anarchists" as he said recently about the TEA Party orgs. He and his ilk (RINO's included) in Congress are scared. They need to demonize all who oppose their elite Fedgov control. They always think they know better how we should live our lives, but never make our lives better.

Don't smoke this; don't drink that; don't eat certain foods; don't have a self-defense weapon; and on and on it goes with the Fedgov. Except for a rare few ever adhere to the limited Fedgov intrusion in our lives as provided for the United States Constitution and the Amendments.

Do they not ever read about the specific "enumerated" Fedgov powers of the Constitution? Do they not read about the Amendments that supercede the body of the Constitution? Do they not understand that Amendments are contractual law?

To the totalitarians, it's always about the "General Welfare" clause and/or the "Interstate Commerce" clause. They never bother to read back when the Founding Fathers were discussing those clauses and understand their ORIGINAL INTENT. Can you say Federalist Papers? Anti-Federalist Papers? FF's publications, personal correspondence, diaries, and other comments? I can. Yet, our so-called leadership since Reagan doesn't get their point.

THE CONSTITUTION is not a "living document".
It is a societal compact which is the law of the land.

I will support it until the day I die. Why? Because I took an Oath to defend something I believe in and will NOT renege on that Oath. Deal with that NSA.

Last thought: The Supreme Court has too much power. They have spun and twisted and created new law by their legal beliefs of what the FF's Original Intent meant. Their problem has always been that they distort such Intent because of legal wrangling .

Obamacare penalty is NOT a tax! It is what it says in the some 2000 pages, a penalty, much like the IRS can assess penalties. Even the writers and leadership admitted that's not a tax, but a penalty. Where Justice Roberts got a tax is beyond me. And yes, I read his opinion.

Maybe the conspiracy folks have it right - Roberts was blackmailed. Again, the USSC has too much power. Wish the FF's could have written there Intent more clearly. Still, they did the best for their time and couldn't foresee future professional politicians and ideological judges.

Excellent post.

I won’t attempt to match your eloquence, but there can be no doubt that the statists(be they R or D) goal is total control of our lives. Their infernal meddling has caused so much continuing pain and suffering, and all of it needlessly.

It never occurs to any of them that being a control freak is to be an enemy of liberty. As such they are a far more dangerous foe than any external threat. After all, they are inside the gates.
